Chargers to start airing team series in September

Even though the Chargers didn’t get chosen to be this year’s team for Hard Knocks, it sounds like they will be having their own coverage following the team. Los Angeles and Spectrum SportsNet announced on Wednesday a content and programming partnership to deliver a new series called Backstage: Chargers that will premiere Sept. 6 at 9:00pm PT and Sept. 7 at 5:00pm PT.

It will give fans an inside perspective with the players, coaches and team personnel while providing exclusive access to the locker room, team meeting rooms, team plane and busses, sidelines and the field of play. With 30-minute episodes running every other week, viewers will see the key moments and personalities that define the team both on and off the field.

The showings will premiere on a bi-weekly basis on Thursdays at 9 pm on Spectrum SportsNet. Bi-weekly episodes will also re-air on ABC7, the Chargers’ local broadcast TV partner and post Friday evenings on Facebook Watch.

Even though it won’t be on HBO, the series sounds like a brilliant idea so that way viewers can see how the Chargers run things on and off the field. Things are looking up for a team that has a bolstered roster heading into 2018.
